The Myler MB 33WL (Wide Low Ported Barrel) variation is specifically approved by both USEF (effective 1/2012) and FEI (effective 7/2016) for dressage competition. This particular mouthpiece meets strict regulatory standards while prioritizing horse comfort. Always consult your organization's latest rule book for confirmation, as regulations can occasionally be updated.How does the Myler MB 33 provide "superior tongue relief"?The MB 33 is a Myler Level 3 mouthpiece, featuring a unique, generously wide, low ported barrel (typically 1 ½ inches high). This design creates ample space for the horse's tongue, significantly reducing direct pressure that often causes discomfort or resistance. It ensures the bit works primarily off the bars and lips, minimizing palate pressure and making it an excellent choice for horses with fleshy or sensitive tongues, promoting relaxation and acceptance.Which type of horse benefits most from the Myler MB 33?This bit, classified as a Myler Level 3 mouthpiece, is generally recommended for "finished," well-schooled, or trustworthy horses that are responsive to leg and seat aids in addition to hand cues. It's ideal for horses that do not require much correction and those that show resistance to traditional bits by head tossing, evading contact, or gapping the mouth due to tongue pressure. It helps refine communication and promotes relaxation for an already willing partner.What is Independent Side Movement and how does it improve communication?Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a core Myler feature that allows each side of the mouthpiece to move independently. This gives the rider the ability to apply precise, isolated cues for bending, balancing, or lifting a shoulder without simultaneously affecting the other side. This results in clearer, less confusing communication for the horse, fostering greater understanding and more refined control.What is the effect of the "Loose Ring" cheekpiece?The loose ring design provides maximum speed of release when the horse complies with an instruction, allowing for minute adjustments by the rider. It is considered one of the most non-interfering cheekpieces because the mouthpiece slides freely around the ring, which can prevent it from pinching the horse's lips. This design offers a softer, more forgiving feel, though the play can sometimes make it more challenging for a horse to consistently find the hands.Elevate your ride and transform your partnership.
